To a compromise? How do you think it will go if we do nothing?

Well, a Turing complete computer is about as abstract as you can get, and so is the concept of memory, regardless of the natural laws of some outer universe, it'd probably be a goo…

Why did you quote half my sentence, leaving out the part where I explain why, and then ask why? > Adding a simulation hypothesis does not simplify the model, and it is unfalsifiabl…

It is falsifiable if you consider that a simulation would have limited resources allocated to it. The null hypothesis would be the universe runs in a way where a simulation couldn'…

“Walk without rhythm and you won't attract the worm”

It's quite a gimmick imo. The amount spent has no basis in what is needed, but simply chosen by multiplication of the guesswork of a person several years ago by the chaotic swings …

This looks like a legitimate complaint, but the way you worded it leads one to believe it is some innate quality of being white that makes people do selfish things, rather than cir…

“rich white people"? Why not just "rich people"?

ok

It depends on how you look at it. A phase out of UBI could also be viewed as an additional tax. In fact, you could consider the current system of benefits only if you are not worki…

Signing by who?

If that is the definition of consumerist, I'm not one in any way. I'm in my 40's, retired and living abroad in a small apartment. I have no car, and live well within my means. I've…

I don't understand psychedelic culture, admittedly, but I can't wrap my head around why you think it's anti consumerist. Drugs are being bought and consumed, right? Isn't that the …

Your comment doesn't address what he wrote. The answer to anything as far as the modern consumer is concerned seems to always be "Buy more stuff!" In this case, what's being pedale…

I don't see how a population exposed to mass destruction (nuclear holocaust, biological agents, etc.) is going to have the same effect as a a couple of bad harvests, nor how a bunc…

This idea that the poor will rise up and overthrow the rich doesn't seem viable in the world today. The technology we now have to quell an uprising far outstrips anything we had in…

What I'm saying is that in my opinion, this worry you have is overblown.
